Jesus’ parable of the workers in the vineyard (Matthew 20:1-16)
teaches us that all that we have, apart from our sin, is received from
God as a gift of His grace. We must remember this when, like Job, we are
going through hard times. We don’t have the right to expect everything
to be going great all the time. When we are enjoying the Lord’s
blessing, we must never forget that this is not something we have
earned. It’s the blessing of His grace, the blessing which has been
given to us by the Lord. The more we come to know His blessing, the more
we will have confidence to say, “I call on You, O God, for You will
answer me” (Psalm 17:6).
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you" (Isaiah 60:1). * Let the light of Christ shine. * Let the words of Scripture lead to thoughts of the Saviour. * In Christ, we are called to salvation, sanctification and service. * Be wise – worship the Saviour. Is 60:1-6; Ps 72:1-7,10-14; Eph 3:1-12; Mt 2:1-12
